Prime Minister Narendra Modi who is facing political heat over the Kathua and Unnao rape cases assured the nation on Friday that no perpetrators would be spared and justice would prevail. He said that “Our daughters will definitely get justice,”
This was followed by the resignation of two BJP ministers in Jammu and Kashmir, who supported the Kathua accused.
The Kathua rape case has driven shivers down the spine of all the country, has shocked the nation and initiated a political battle over the issue.
Smriti Irani, Union Minister, and BJP leader attacked Congress President Rahul Gandhi, slamming his midnight march for seeking justice for the Unnao and Kathua rape victims as a farce, on Friday
On the other hand, Gandhi, on Thursday led a midnight march to India Gate in New Delhi to protest against both the rape cases and prodded Prime Minister Narendra Modi to walk the talk on saving the girl child.
The Supreme Court on Friday initiated a case on its own accord, saying that such impeding of the legal process “affects the delivery of justice”, taking note of lawyers obstructing the judicial process in the Kathua gang-rape and murder case.
After his midnight candlelight march at India Gate, Congress President Rahul Gandhi stated on Friday that the Prime Ministers silence over the two rape cases was unacceptable. He challenged the Prime Minister to speak out on these issues.
These two rape cases have shocked the nation and there are uproars and protests coming from all direction. The Government needs to take concrete steps to ensure safety of females and ensure that these kinds of incidents award death penalty, so as to stop these atrocities.
In a Justice system where the high and mighty prevail, it is almost impossible for the victims to get Justice. Concrete steps should be taken to ensure that Justice prevails and harsh punishment awarded to such animals so that these incidents don’t take place in the future. The future of our womenfolk is now in the policy makers hands.
